Description of Requirement The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Cancer Institute (NCI), Center for Cancer Research (CCR) needs a nitrogen generator. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items, prepared in accordance with format in FAR 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation: No. 75N91020Q00187, is issued as a request for quote (RFQ) and includes all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through FAR Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2020-08 (AUG 2020) simplified procedures for commercial items. The North American Industry Classification System code is 334516 and the business size standard is $11 million. This is a Small Business Set-Aside. Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation. This will be awarded as a firm fixed price type contract. 1.0 BRAND NAME OR EQUAL This requirement is for the procurement of the brand name or equivalent instruments described in section 4.0. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provision FAR 52.211-6, Brand Name or Equal (AUG 1999) is applicable to this requirement. 2.0 BACKGROUND Research in the Oberdoerffer laboratory examines how nucleic acid modifications in RNA and DNA nucleobases influence gene expression at unexpected stages in the life cycle of protein-coding messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules. With a specific focus on cytosine, we aim at understanding how nucleic acid modifications contribute to the etiology of disease with the ultimate goal of identifying avenues for novel therapeutic interventions. A main roadblock in our studies relates to the lack of assays with the capability of distinguishing rare modified events from the overwhelming prevalence of non-modified nucleotides. Accordingly, mass spectrometry remains the gold standard for the accurate quantification of modified residues and requires substantial nitrogen gas input. 3.0 TYPE OF ORDER This will be issued as a Non-Severable Firm Fixed-Price Purchase Order. 4.0 SPECIAL ORDER REQUIREMENTS 4.1 PRODUCT FEATURES/SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS The nitrogen generator will provide the 95-99% purified nitrogen gas required for the Agilent 6495C LC-MS system 24 /7 thus eliminating the use of nitrogen tanks which can have unpredictable availability.
